Welding tee and Extruded welding tee

Dear Dave,

Yes, i am refering to the "Type" parameter in the CAESAR II "SIF's & Tees" window.

From your explanation, what i infer is that, for normal tee (intersection of three pipe elements) welding must be specified (i.e.) item no. 3.

Then, why the option of buttweld is listed in the "SIF's & Tees" window. As u have said and as per B31 code, buttweld has an sif=1.

Also the confusion has come due to the reason is that, even though the connection of tee is welding, but the type of weld connection is the buttweld. So this makes to blink which must be selected.

Thanks for ur reply.
